The Ballroom Dance Company provides the most comprehensive kids program in Oregon. We offer age and skill specific classes for youth. Youth are also recieve discounted tuition to our Adult Classes.
Kids classes cost $10 per student, per class (when pre-paid for the month). Drop-ins and new students are always welcome in beginners classes (drop-in tuition is $12 per student, per class). Intermediate, performance, competition and advanced level classes require instructor pre-approval.

Ballroom dance encompasses a wide variety of Dance Styles including traditional ballroom, latin, swing, and contemporary partner dances. Kids learn all of these styles in our youth classes.
We highly recommend ballroom classes for kids ages 6 & up. Boys and girls are introduced to upbeat dance styles like the cha cha and salsa, as well as sophisticated styles like the waltz and tango. Dedicated students have the opportunity to progress through intermediate and advanced level classes, as well as performance and competition classes.
We also host weekly all-ages dance parties Sundays 7:30-10pm. Kids of all ages attend these weekly parties, as well as adults. These dances are run by advanced kids class instructor Sunnie Page.
